FLEX College Prep

With no end to over a year of academic uncertainty in sight, College Board has recently announced important updates to the 2021 AP Exams. During this time of pandemic and institutional upheaval, the AP exams have become the college admissions test of choice, finally unseating the SAT and ACT from their prominent place in a student’s academic portfolio. In earlier updates, we detailed the reasoning behind the changes as well as the impact on current high school students. Now, we explain the preliminary plans for the 2021 AP exams that have just been released by the CollegeBoard and help you navigate the somewhat confusing options for your students.
